Elections

This Senate debate was on the topic of elections. Senator Durbin spoke about the Judiciary Committee’s hearing the day before, in which former special counsel Jack Smith testified under oath about his investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Durbin said the administration is interfering with elections again, citing Justice Department and FBI actions at local election offices, demands for voter data, and statements directed at election workers, and he said the Constitution gives states the power to run elections, that courts are stopping some of these actions, and that Congress will hold officials accountable. He urged Americans to vote. No opposing statements were included in the sampled discussion.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
